Residents in Byford and the wider Serpentine-Jarrahdale area will connect to the Perth CBD on a seamless 42-minute train journey once the Byford Rail Extension (BRE) is complete.

The Armadale Line is being extended approximately 8km south to a new ground-level station in Byford, supporting one of the fastest growing areas in Australia.

Armadale Station is being rebuilt as an elevated station with three nearby busy level crossings removed and replaced with elevated rail. Other level crossings between Armadale and Byford are also being removed with alternative treatments to improve safety and ease traffic flow through reduced road congestion.

The new station will include six bus stands, three platforms (two urban and one regional), and approximately 400 parking bays, including ACROD.

The elevated rail structure has been completed, removing three level crossings and two pedestrian crossings.

Byford Station is the first in Western Australia to achieve a 6-Star Green Star Design Review rating and Armadale Station has also received certification from the Green Building Council of Australia with a 6-Star Green Star 'Design Review'.

The project will kick-start development opportunities in the Armadale and Byford town centres, providing new and safe connections around the stations.
